1
Horse silk
20/1
Placed twice from 3 starts in bumpers (fair form) but has been well held in maiden hurdles, looking ungainly to boot.

2
Horse silk
400/1
Showed little in a brace of bumpers. Off 16 months ahead of hurdle debut. Also tongue tied.
|
Timeform
Signs of ability in bumpers/over hurdles but is possibly more one for handicaps after this.

Showed more than on his sole bumper when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good, 33/1) on debut in this sphere 37 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Remains a maiden after 16 hurdle runs and came home last of 8 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Plenty to prove.

7
Horse silk
3/1
Seemed to show fair form when a close second in a small-field Leicester maiden hurdle in November. Well below that level there next time but bounced back to form after 6 months off when second at Stratford in July, collared dying strides. Likely to go well again.
|
Timeform
Fairly useful on Flat for Henk Grewe in Germany, successful 3 times at up to 1½m in 2022, including on final start. Interesting hurdling debutant.

Modest maiden who ran respectably on first run since leaving Declan Queally when third in 8-runner handicap at Perth (16.2f, good to soft, 12/1) 21 days ago. Hood/tongue strap back on.

Wonderful Eagle (11/4), The Geordie Ginge (3/1), Climbing (3/1), Littel Flour (10/3), Came From Nothing (7/1), Borderline (20/1), Olly's Folly (80/1), Princess Unique (100/1), Prelinsia (150/1), Brucie Bonus (400/1), Farnon (400/1)

15:30 Newton Abbot - 22 August 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

WONDERFUL EAGLE showed a fairly useful level of ability on the Flat in Germany and should take a fair bit of beating if transferring that sort of form over to hurdles at the first attempt. The Geordie Ginge was collared only in the dying strides by one who's gone in again since at Stratford, so he's very much respected, while Little Flour and Climbing need factoring in, too.
